Brace yourself, Zynga is developing Game of Thrones title

A new social gaming title based on the Game of Thrones TV series is set to release from social gaming giant Zynga. The new title has been developed in partnership with HBO and Disruptor Beam.

Game of Thrones Ascent, which was designed by Disruptor Beam, is set to be published on Facebook by Zynga, as well as the company's own Zynga.com website.

Disruptor Beam chief executive, Jon Radoff, had the following to say about the announcement:

One thing that I've learned in my years of starting and building companies is that gaming companies cannot always be solely responsible for 100 percent of their hits. Partnerships are integral to the success of any game company and any game."
